BioWare to "explore" Move and Kinect

In a recent interview co-founder and VP of BioWare Greg Zeschuk has revealed that his company is looking into the potential of motion control improving future entries in the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series.

Was thinking about the same thing right now. And they might add Kinect support for Mass Effect 3 for playing mini games like decrypting or hacking. I wish Mass Effect also released for PS3 though. Playing it with Move would be a great experience considering how SOCOM 4, a TPS game, works great with it.

When it comes to the Mass Effect series, I realllyy hope they explore some other engines or tech than the Unreal Engine 2. I mean that sh** is getting old and they could do a whole lot better with something different. Bioware are extremely talented devs and they can deliver some stunning stuff with some new tech (software realted).

It would be reasonable to assume that a game that only uses the Kinect would take up more processing power. But a regular game that has some Kinect interaction should not take as much power away from the game.

Or maybe it could only use the processing power when it needs to. Typically in those games you go to a separate screen for hacking, e.g. Bioshock, Mass Effect, Resident Evil (Door, locker codes), and so on. It would not be too hard to put up a static screen like that and use the Kinect for that moment.

It could also be used during cutscenes to move your character out of harms way in slow motion.

There are many things that can be done to not make the core game suffer.
